The lady is killing my SAW IV buzz!
Too squeamish for a little torture porn? Who's bad-ass now?
So, it's Halloween, which means it's time for yet another visit from our favorite puppet master, Jigsaw. I've said it before, but this guy may very well be the greatest horror villian of all time. He's not supernatural, he's not strong, he's a frail old man dieing of cancer (or in the case of Saw IV quite possibly dead). But when he whispers to you in that raspy voice Live or die, make your choice . . . that's uber-creepy. And the traps! I could watch an entire movie of just the devices and situations that he puts his participants in. So what's the buzz kill here? I should be excited and bouncing off the walls . . . and I am. But there's a little bit of a let-down. Seems a certain someone is a little too squeamish to watch ANY of the Saw films, let alone Saw IV. And I just don't get it. She's watched some pretty messed up stuff with me . . . she saw 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, some outrageous stuff at Fantastic Fest this year . . . but she balked at Hostel and she's balking at Saw. And the real irony here is that they really aren't all that bad . . . I think it's more a hype thing (and I think it might partly be my fault - I do love to hype me some gore).
Ah well . . . I can't really complain I guess. lady lascivious is quite adapt at most forms of bad-assery, she makes a mean plate of tacos, and she walks on my back when it's sore from kicking too much ass . . . I'll cut her some slack on this one. She is going to go see Fido next week, though.
Maybe I can drag BitterMF or Tron to the theater with me.
Anyway . . . Saw IV opens up on October 26, 2007. So far, I'm excited by what I see and hear. In my not-so-humble opinion, the Saw films have gotten better with each version, so my hopes for 4 are quite high. Want to play a game?
In the spirit of true CyberMonkey-ness . . . I've decided to throw you a bone and post the "red band" trailer for Saw IV, also known as the autopsy trailer. You won't see this one on TV or most theaters (thanks to the MMPA and wimpy theaters that won't show red band trailers) . . . or most web-sites for that matter. Heck, the official Saw IV website makes you go through a cheesy age verification that's actually a total pain in the ass (it involves a drivers license lookup, no shit!). I'm just gonna let you watch it, use your own discretion. If you came to the CyberMonkeyDeathSquad, you know what's what and I ain't responsible for your choices. If you're underage, you're parents ought to be paying more attention to what you're doing anyway!
Oh yes . . . there will be blood . . .
